Just an FYI.
All S owners might want to double check the tightness of the nuts holding your hood scoop on. I noticed one nut was loose a while back and had tightened it up, but now it is gone.
I went and bought lock washers for all four of the screws that hold the scoop on. Now they should not go anywhere.

>>Yes I already had to repalce one... it costed me $2.76 at the dealer... the closest Dealer not my original Dealer... I wasnt able to find the size at the local hardware store... that was weird...
Ouch! I found some basic metric nuts at my local ACE hardware. I believe I used a 5mm. They were nice and let me take several sizes out to check for a proper fit. They cost only $.17. I found lock washers to fit for $.25 each.
I hate it when the stealerships overcharge. :evil:
